John Lister, Socialist Alliance prospective candidate for Oxford East, was launching his General Election manifesto today (May 17).
He was joined by other Alliance supporters at Oxford railway station, holding giant Rail tickets which said "76 per cent say renationalise the railways". He said: "Opinion polls show that more than three quarters of the electorate agree more with our programme for renationalising British Rail, than with the Government pumping subsidies into private operators."
Other candidates in the Oxford East constituency are Andrew Smith (Lab), Cheryl Potter (Con), Steve Goddard (Lib Dem), Pritam Singh (Green), Peter Gardner (Ind).
